Hippo

Hippo is an experimental compile-time asset preprocessor; its intended usage is to preprocess web assets with existing toolchains.

:warning: The scope of the project and its programming interfaces are very likely to change.

Usage

A struct or enum may derive from Preprocess to embed the output of a command. The processed output can be accessed via Self::HIPPO_DATA, Self::preprocessed_data() or its Display implementation.

Rust

use hippo::Preprocess;

#[derive(Preprocess)]
#[hippo("sass", "css/main.scss")]
pub struct MainCSS;

Hippo.toml

[sass]
command = "sassc"
flags   = ["-t", "compressed"]
prefix  = "static/"
format  = "utf-8"

Configuration

Hippo will look for a Hippo.conf in the crate root; this file defines one or more preprocessors that will be made available to any struct or enum that derives from Preprocess.

A preprocessor is identified by its TOML section and its behavior is controlled by its key-value pairs. The following key-value pairs are recognized:
